Romeo and Juliet

<p><i>Two Postcodes two streets apart</i><br><i>In dear Merton where our story starts.</i><br><i>Beef from the past creates new tension.</i><br><i>Innocent blood spilled they need an intervention.</i><br><i>A boy and a girl supposed to be ops;</i><br><i>They chat hold hands secret meetings by the shops.</i> <p/>A remixed tale of star-crossed lovers. <p/>How much would you risk for the person you love? <p/>Forced apart by generations of hatred young eyes meet across a South London dancefloor on a fateful night that will change their lives forever. Shakespeare's most famous story is re-told through rap rhythms and beautiful harmonies. It's <i>Romeo and Juliet</i> but as you've never heard it before. Put down your swords and pick up your mics after all the course of true love never did run smooth. <p/>From Conrad Murray the creator behind the 2023 Offie award-winning <i>Pied Piper: The Hip Hop Family Musical</i> comes this hip hop re-telling with contributions from Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens Khai Shaw and Kate Donnachie. <p/>This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Polka Theatre in March 2024.</p>
